Mother won't stop "offering suggestions" :(
My mom has been staying with me for a while. She has always been disparaging about my weight gain, saying things like "you don't even feel like my daughter when I hug you" and about how much space I need to get around things vs. her (like when both of us are in the smallish kitchen). She offers "helpful" comments when I…

How do you change your mind set?
I have tried losing weight for years and my mind is spinning with 'don't eat that' now 'eat that'. Don't count calories, do count calories; count points, now just avoid carbs; this will be bad for you, now its good for you. I could list every program I have tried on here but it would be tedious. How do you unclutter the…

I have a new theory on why sometimes we crave more food
I always thought that the reason why one would crave more food is because of a nutritional deficiency or because their stomach was bigger and created a bigger appetite. Both still could be true. But I've been getting in a lot more fiber lately. And I've been drinking water. That helps fill your stomach. What I have found…

How can I keep discussion about my weight private?
I work out every day. I am a buff guy, but still have some extra weight to lose. I do not, however, like to discuss weight or fitness with friends or family, or anyone. Some of you might not agree, but it is my choice and what I'm comfortable with. I do have some insecurity too. Sometimes when someone looks at my arms and…

Strategies for resisting comfort foods when you have to have them in your house?
I have eliminated most of my "comfort" foods from the house. However, because my 4 year old is one of the pickiest of eaters, I have to have mac and cheese in the house. When I make it for her, I end up eating and eating it. I am so disappointed in myself. What strategies have you found to work for you when you cannot help…

Monday Motivation
Some people need to hear the raw truth behind motivation. Motivation Vs Discipline. Throw motivation out the window. Sorry, but motivation is temporary. Motivation will not get you to your goals. Your goals will be accomplished with discipline. Discipline takes over when you have no motivation. It takes discipline to stay…

Inspiration Comes in Many Forms
Some of my MFP friends will have seen this already, but this may be an inspiration to others. I became a widower early this year when my 45 year old wife of 19 years passed away suddenly as a result of complications from a surgery a month before. After a lot of soul searching and struggling to find any path forward, it…
